same

.I is a frictim-brafke,l arranged to act on roller D.

.llhe rollers are all provided 'with,l1olding-pawls,l

ratchets. and cranks, for working and holding them.

The lining is first attached to the roller G,.prefer ably hooking to astretcher-bai' M, connected by cords, and wound thereon. The top F issuitably attached to' roller D, and wound on it. The ends of thetwo'hanging from the rollers* are "then both attached to the lroller G,the lining being stretched over the bar H.

Thebats are then placed between the top and lining,

and the whole wound upon the rollerG until the liuiug is unwound fromroller C. The top is then detached from roller D, and laid over thelining to roller C, when the whole is prepared for quilting, which isthen proceeded with, and the quilted part is wound on roller C as fastas. quilted, being drawn otf from roller G in the same measure.

Afterthe top is disengaged from roller D, the latter may be removed, ifpreferred.
